Fading signals

We built something slow, day by day

Laughed in shadows, found words to say

You saw me when I thought I’d fade

Now I’m watching you drift away

I saved every spark we shared

Now it’s silence, and you’re barely there

You used to call me like you cared

Now your voice is just thin air

---

I don’t know the rules of this game

And I don’t wanna play if it’s not the same

---

So why do I wait for a sign from you?

Like a ghost of the bond we knew

Were we real, or just passing through?

I gave you more than I meant to

Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals

You were warm, now you’re digital

Say it’s fine, but I feel the shift

Is this goodbye in a silent gift?

---

You used to call me names so sweet

Now it’s “Lexi” — polite, on beat

We joked, we fought, we made our world

Now I’m just another girl

I see your name light up my screen

But it’s not the same as it’s been

You say you’re tired, you say you’re fine

But I can’t read between the lines

---

I asked if you’d still stay near

But your answers aren’t so clear

---

So why do I wait for a sign from you?

Like a ghost of the bond we knew

Were we real, or just passing through?

I gave you more than I meant to

Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals

You were warm, now you’re digital

Say it’s fine, but I feel the shift

Is this goodbye in a silent gift?

---

I told you too much, I stayed too long

I hoped in silence, I wrote you songs

I waited online like love might load

But you left while the server slowed

---

So why do I wait for a sign from you?

Like a ghost of the bond we knew

Did you care, or just play it through?

I broke the game when I let in truth

Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals

You were close, now you’re minimal

Say it’s nothing, but I feel the rift

Is this goodbye in a silent gift?
